I just played this game with my kid today, who’s the same age I was when I first played it. He’s a solid gamer and even he said it was really hard. 🕹️

The first person who can name it AND the year it was released wins that amount in sats. (No reverse image search, please!)

Has the entire #btcPRAGUE mainstage audience just doxxed itself in front of a dozen cameras with this little game of 'Who's the best Bitcoiner?'

Have you bought #bitcoin?

Have you sent bitcoin to a cold wallet?

Have you used the Lightning Network?

Are you running a node?

...

I literally came here to escape advertising. 🤦‍♂️

We Zap people that contribute to the community and/or the growth of nostr. No set-it-and-zap it here.

Yes, we did Zap that note.

Aliens arent so incompetant their tiny ships are falling out of the sky and their people dying, much less being left here to rot.

"We're the ones who live in ignorance now. The US government has managed to classify more than a BILLION so-called 'public' documents. So at this point, we can't possibly know what our leaders are doing. We're not allowed to know. By definition, that is not a democracy, yet it's fine with the media. Secrecy is a powerful tool of control."

Embrace the Suck

We crave constant excitement and entertainment. We yearn for life to be an endless series of enjoyment. While these are what we desire, they are not what we need. What we truly need are skills, and gaining these doesn't always involve fun. Fun is instant gratification and immediate happiness, but they have a cost later on.

Focusing on fun is how we develop addictions. We seek immediate satisfaction, oblivious to the long-term consequences that could potentially ruin other aspects of life. Fun is inherently high time preference.

A mental shift towards maturity and responsibility involves learning to appreciate the initial unpleasantness of acquiring new skills - or as I prefer to call it, "embracing the suck". Trying to do something you're not skilled at isn't "fun". It's frustrating and demands considerable discipline. More than anything, it requires courage due to our inherent fear of monotony.

But there's no harm in boredom. In fact, it's the default state of life. Excitement is, and should be, the exception rather than the norm. By learning to manage boredom, you'll cultivate a much-needed trait - patience.

We demand immediate satisfaction because we are entitled brats. If we don't find fun in a task instantly, we tend to surrender. But that joy in doing something, that joy in being good rather than having fun takes years to develop. This requires a patient and mature mindset, one that prioritizes long-term gains over immediate satisfaction.
